So they got all that money from Uncle Sam's CHIPS Act only to lay off 10,000 employees and make themselves "lean". Govt funded unemployment.

The micro code fix is to throttle the CPU. It's only kind of a fix.

And the "fix" (big foam helmet) is not even out yet. They don't have the chips to replace them all right now and are still selling more. You can help yourself by setting the clock speed (no boost) yourself.

Oh and after the foam helmet gets put on they will still sell these using the old higher specs.
